The best experience for your dog!

Pet care experience

I have a dog of my own and I love spending time with her. I really miss my dog while I’m at school so I really enjoy being able to be around other dogs while away from her! I have also been a dog sitter for many families and I have experience walking older dogs and puppies who aren’t great on a leash. I have previously walked up to 3 dogs at a time and also have experience house sitting puppies. I also grew up with cats and have done cat sitting as well. I really enjoy getting to know your pets! Please let me take great care of them! I have more experience through the app Wag! and have attached an image of my profile.

Samantha was awesome! She was on time and handled Max beautifully. He is older and she totally "got" him. He liked her so much, he wanted us to walk her out after the evening was done. He kept going up her and followed her around. That is a good dog sitter!

Sam is a great communicator, very responsible, and treated our dogs just like her own! She dealt with our German shepherds, consistent need to fetch, and was patient and kind with our other older dog. Would recommend her to anyone!

Samantha stayed at my apartment for a week to take care of my dog and cat. She was very responsive, gave updates and pictures throughout her stay, and left everything in perfect condition. I would definitely book her again!

Samantha stayed over night with my 11 week old puppy and was so incredibly patient with him. She updated me throughout the night and cleaned any messes he made. My sweet boy was loved and well taken care of. I would rebook Samantha in a heartbeat!

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if they need to be given any medication, how they react to other dogs we encounter while walking, and how they react towards new people.

A typical day

I will plan on taking your dog on walks 2x a day unless otherwise instructed. I love to play tug of war and fetch with your dog if they are interested! I also will run with some dogs on our walks if they have a lot of energy!
